At night, there was silence in the palace, but there was a slight sound of footsteps in the small kitchen in the Yuhua Pavilion.

"Are you alright?"

"I've put it all in."

"Okay, let's go."

The door to the small kitchen was gently shut, and the two figures quickly walked out of the garden.

The next day, when the eldest grandson returned from outside, he saw Cuixin standing there waiting, presumably Zheng Ruilan had something to do, the eldest grandson walked over, Cuixin saw it, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Second master." ”

"Did Lan'er ask you to find me for something?" The eldest grandson asked.

Cui Xin nodded and said: "Madame said, now that Aunt Ran is pregnant, Madame is happy for the second master, and she packed up her things early this morning and went to the Buddhist hall in the backyard, eating fasting and reciting Buddha every day, and praying for the children of the second master and Aunt Ran." ”

The eldest grandson was moved in his heart, "Ran'er's body is not good, there is no need to pray for blessings, it is enough to have this heart." ”

Cui Xin smiled: "The slave knows that the second master feels sorry for Madame, but Madame has made up her mind and is determined to pray for blessings for three days, at this time, I am afraid that I have gone to the Buddha Hall, Madam said, as long as the second master can be happy, it is more important than anything else." ”

When the eldest grandson heard this, he sighed slightly, and when Cui Xin saw it, he blessed him and said, "The slave maid still wants to go to the Buddha hall to pray with his wife, so he will retire first." ”

The eldest grandson nodded, seeing that Cui Xin was far away, he felt a little reluctant in his heart, he only cared about accompanying Xia Mengran for the past few days, and forgot Zheng Ruilan behind, but not only did she not blame herself, but she also went to the Buddhist hall alone to pray for herself and her children.

Thinking of this, the eldest grandson couldn't help but make up his mind to visit Zheng Ruilan more often in the future.

In the morning, the eldest grandson stayed in the Yuhua Pavilion as usual to accompany Xia Mengran, these days Xia Mengran can be said to have lived the life he dreamed of before, more than a dozen girls are waiting, food and clothing are the best, no matter what you want, as long as you show your intention a little, you can be satisfied.

The eldest grandson sat on the couch reading a book, Xia Mengran leaned on the side and peeled the pear, and after one was finished, Xia Mengran took a knife and cut the pear into pieces and put it on the plate, brought it to the front of the eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "Second master, eat a piece of Sydney." ”

The eldest grandson put down the book, looked at Xia Mengran and said: "You are pregnant, you don't have to work like this, just leave such things to the next person to do in the future." ”

Xia Mengran smiled gently and lovely, "The second master's affairs, just do it with the concubine, the subordinates will inevitably have inconsiderate places, how can the concubine rest assured?" ”

The eldest grandson nodded, ate the pears on the plate, and did not speak.

Xia Mengran smiled and said, "Second master, lately, the concubine has always been unable to sleep well at night, and I don't know why, she will wake up in the middle of the night, which is really distressing." ”

As he spoke, his head hung down slightly, looking aggrieved.

The eldest grandson was a little bored in his heart, almost the whole house had been catering to her in the past few days, and all good things were sent to her, but this Xia Mengran was still not satisfied.

The eldest grandson already had a little bit of a mustard heart for Xia Mengran, just because that day he thought that it was Xia Mengning who spent the Spring Festival with him, but in the end he became Xia Mengran, no matter how he said it, he was also a big man, although he accepted this fact, but when facing Xia Mengran, he was inevitably a little uncomfortable.

Now he is so good to Xia Mengran, it is entirely because Xia Mengran is pregnant with his own child in his belly, if not, he still prefers to go to Zheng Ruilan's house.

Xia Mengran didn't see the expression of the eldest grandson, just blindly coquettish, the whole house has paid so much attention to herself these days, so Xia Mengran was fluttering for a while, feeling that she had really become a queen.

The eldest grandson suppressed the impatience in his heart and said, "Can you ask the doctor to come and see it?" ”

Xia Mengran nodded, "The doctor said that it was because the concubine was restless, and it had something to do with pregnancy." ”

The eldest grandson said: "Then still look at it, what should I do?" ”

Xia Mengran was overjoyed in her heart, knowing that she was now responding to her needs, so she stabilized her mind and pretended to be embarrassed: "The concubine heard that there is a goose pear fragrant brocade quilt in the lady's room, and the doctor said that this goose pear fragrance is very precious, and it can be of great benefit to appease insomnia and anxious people, but the concubine knows that she is just a concubine, where to use the things used by the lady......"

Xia Mengran said, secretly bowing his head, holding a handkerchief and pointing at the corners of his eyes.

The eldest grandson stared at her tightly and remained silent.

Xia Mengran secretly sobbed a few times, and then realized that something was wrong, it stands to reason that his words should be able to be understood by the eldest grandson, and if the eldest grandson thinks about the child, he should agree to himself.

Xia Mengran waited for a while, and then couldn't help but raise his head, just in time to meet the eyes of the eldest grandson staring at him tightly, Xia Mengran was startled, and hurriedly said, "Second master...... The concubine body doesn't mean that, the concubine body knows that her status is low, and she can't use such good things, but she ......"

Before Xia Mengran finished speaking, he was bluntly interrupted by the eldest grandson, "No, it's just that, since you know what your identity is, don't think like this again, you are a concubine, Lan'er is the main room, this will not change in the future, what to do is best in your own heart." ”

Xia Mengran opened his mouth and stammered, he never expected that the eldest grandson would say such a thing, and he was speechless for a while, so he had to look at the eldest grandson in a daze.

The eldest grandson waved his hand in annoyance, threw the book in his hand on the couch, looked at Xia Mengran's ruddy face, where did he look like a person who didn't sleep well, and then looked at the furnishings in her room, all of them were gold, silver and jade, at first glance, it was a bit dazzling, the eldest grandson was originally a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and now when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be even more disgusted with Xia Mengran.

Standing up, the eldest grandson said, "I still have something to do, I'll come to see you later." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Xia Mengran sat on the couch, watched the eldest grandson walk out, bit his lip angrily, and shook the plate on the table hard.

Xiao Lu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort, "Auntie, don't be angry, I'm afraid the second master is not in a good mood today, when the second master comes back in the evening, let's prepare a table of good dishes for him, just talk soft." ”

Xia Mengran couldn't get angry, so he took off the bead string he was wearing on his wrist and slammed it to the ground.

Xiao Lu gave the little girl a look, the little girl hurriedly and silently cleaned up the pieces, Xia Mengran sat on the couch, gritted her teeth and said: "Zheng Ruilan, this slut, must have said bad things about me in front of the second master, and now she refuses to even give me a broken quilt ......"

Xiao Lu brought the fragrant tea and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be angry, you are pregnant with the second master's first child in your belly, no matter how powerful the lady is, she is also a hen that can't lay eggs, why do you fight for this interest now, wait until your son is born safely, when the mother is more expensive than the son, no matter how powerful the lady is, she can't beat you." ”

Xia Mengran nodded, calmed down the anger in her heart a little, and a little girl stepped forward, holding a bowl of brown medicinal juice in her hand and said, "Auntie, the fetal medicine is ready." ”

Xia Mengran took a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose slightly, "Take it down, it smells so bad, I don't want to drink it......"

Xiao Lu stepped forward and took it, and said, "Auntie, what we can count on now is the child in the belly, this fetal medicine is a good thing, you drink it first, and the slave will go and get you candied fruit." ”

Xia Mengran finally frowned and drank it after hearing this, Xiao Lu prepared the candied fruit on the side, and waited for Xia Mengran to finish drinking it before giving it to her.

In the bamboo branch garden, a few girls who sprinkled the cleaning were cleaning the garden, Liushuang took a broom, bent down and cleaned seriously, and the flowing face on the side saw it, and said angrily: "Some people think that they can pat their ass and be favored by their masters, but the result is not the same as us." ”

Liushuang looked up at her, didn't speak, and continued to lower her head to clean.

Liuyan felt that he was being neglected, and said with a broom: "This person has his own life, a slave is a slave, and he still thinks that he can be the master." ”

Jiu'er had just brought lunch to Xia Mengning from the kitchen, and when she entered the door, she heard Liuyan's voice, Jiu'er was angry, and said loudly: "I said who is this, it turned out to be Liuyan, what kind of master and slave, I will also listen to it." ”

When a few little girls who were cleaning saw Jiu'er, they hurriedly put down the work in their hands, bent down and saluted, and were stunned, seeing that Jiu'er seemed to be biased towards Liushuang, so they didn't speak again.

Jiu'er glared at Liuyan and said: "If you have anything to say in the future, go and tell Miss, if you think Miss treats you unfairly, you must also say it openly, don't learn from those long-tongued women, talk behind your back all day long, and you can't even hold back a fart when you get to the front." ”

Jiu'er's voice was crisp, coupled with a clever energy, which was a little overwhelming.

Liuyan responded timidly, Jiu'er looked at her and said, "After a morning's work, it's time to rest, let's have lunch." ”

Everyone put down their work to wash their hands and prepare for dinner, and the next people's food was received by the next people, Jiu'er walked to their house, brought out a lotus pod tofu, and said: "Liushuang, Miss pity you are always thin and weak, so I added vegetables to you, and you can work well when you are full." ”

This is already Xia Mengning's separate reward to Liushuang several times in a row, everyone looks at Liushuang with some envy, and if she can get Xia Mengning's attention, she is afraid that she will be promoted to a second-class girl in a few days.

After Jiu'er finished speaking, he handed over the lotus tofu, and Liushuang hurriedly thanked him and took it, and Liuyan, who was sitting opposite, looked at this scene, his eyes were red with anger, and he grabbed the bamboo chopsticks in his hand fiercely, staring at Liushuang.

Jiu'er saw it in her eyes, smiled quietly in her heart, and said: "Okay, I have one more thing to say when I come here today, in the future, Liushuang will be responsible for Miss's daily life, and Zhulian and I will still be Miss's personal maidservants, but in the future, I will take clothes and eat and clean Miss's boudoir, and I will hand it over to Quickshuang to do it." ”

Everyone was stunned, Liushuang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Miss Xie appreciates, Miss Xie appreciates, Liushuang must live up to Miss's expectations." ”

Jiu'er smiled, "Miss trusts you, you can do it well, but there is one thing, our Zhuzhiyuan is a slave who cannot tolerate a traitor, no matter who it is, if I find out, I will definitely not be able to spare her." ”

Everyone bowed their heads, and Jiu'er said: "Liushuang will be a second-class girl in the future, but our bamboo branch garden is small, you still live with other people first, and Miss will arrange an independent room for you in the future." ”

Liushuang hurriedly thanked her, and Jiu'er looked at everyone and walked out.
